Goa 20 years Psychedelic Trance Book and CD

In this rich illustrated book, the editors, Tom Rom and Pascal Querner, bring together the texts and statements of 40 authors to create a comprehensive portrait of a music scene that has existed for over twenty years and the associated lifestyle. 650 expressive images from 38 photographers document the unique and vibrant global culture of Psytrance events in Brazil, Australia, Japan, Zambia, Turkey, the USA, and Latin America, as well as in Europe, including the legendary Boom Festival in Portugal and the Ozora Festival in Hungary. Additionally, there are photos from Goa, the former hippie paradise on India's west coast, where the roots of this culture developed on its beaches in the 1970s and 1980s. Key figures of the scene such as Goa Gil, Chicago, and Raja Ram are all featured in this extraordinary volume. Last but not least, the works of visionary artists like Alex Grey, Robert Venosa, and Martina Hoffmann showcase the genuine visual language of this culture.

A DVD featuring previously unreleased video footage and music from various festivals produced by Psynema completes this total work of art.
